A report citing interviews with U.S. officials says the Pentagon did not publicly disclose that dozens of U.S. service members were injured in three Iranian strikes carried out last week. The New York Times reports that the Pentagon’s public statements omitted details about the extent of injuries, even as Iranian attacks followed and resulted in the deaths of two people at a U.S. location in Jordan. The officials described the injuries as including damage associated with Iranian strike impacts, including effects on helicopters. Several officials spoke to the newspaper on condition of anonymity, and at least one official raised concerns that publicly releasing detailed information about the attacks could help Iran refine targeting of missiles and drones aimed at U.S. bases. Forbes reports that the Pentagon denies that it hid injury statistics after the report was published. The Hill similarly describes the account as concealment of injuries connected to the latest Iranian strikes. Across the coverage, the central dispute focuses on whether and how the Pentagon disclosed injury information after the strikes.
